The group’s underdogs will take on each other on the second day of the World Cup as both teams need a victory here in order to keep dreaming of the knockout stages and a potential upset against either Portugal or Spain later on.
Both teams were super impressive defensively during their respective qualifying campaigns. Morocco topped their group in the final round of the African WC Qualifications without conceding a single goal in six matches.
Their counterparts broke FIFA WC Qualifications record by keeping 12 consecutive clean sheets en route to booking tickets to Russia 2018 in the Asian zone.
